Hey guys! I'm helping David out here while hes away doing some tour interviews and getting all professional like with the higher ups.SO he threw me a bone and this bone was REVOCATION and I have to say its mighty tasty.
Straight off from the first track "Cretin" and to the last track "Reprogrammed" it had me going.
I've never been a fan let alone a listener of Revocation BUT this album has indefinitely changed my mind!
The Drums are reminiscent of thrash bands such as Slayer and Evile, The vocals do remind me of the old school hardcore bands such as Agnostic Front and a bit of G.G. Allin and The Murder Junkies, The Guitars and Bass really reminded me of Trivium gone apeshit and actually becoming angry along with some At The Gates elements.
The overall equalization of the album is phenomenal in my opinion.Everything can be heard at all times during the album.The guitars are thick,crunchy,and clear as day,The bass is glassy and thundering, the drums are heavy and pop loud and clear,The vocals are perfect,not too loud nor too quiet.
The only downsides I can come too are the fact that it does run into itself with each song.There isn't any definition as to where one song ends and another begins on a few areas of the album.Overall thats the only downside!
I give this album a 4.5 out 5! and strongly recommend it to ANYONE who loves metal or hardcore.

LAST CHANCE TO REASON post a kickass video blog
The prog-metaller's Last Chance to Reason has posted an awesome video documenting the dates they played with ATHIEST. The band recently posted footage from their canadian tour as well, and are currently on tour with Wretched and Sons of Aurelis. Check it out here! Their debut on Prosthetic records will be out next tuesday (April 12th). Pre-order the album exclusively on Prosthetic's site right over there---> click this to pre-order it.
Catch the band live:
4/7 St. Louis, MO- Fubar @
4/9 La Crosse, WI- Warehouse @
4/10 Portage, IN- Camelot Hall @
4/12 Sandusky, OH - The Underground @
4/13 Trenton, NJ - Championship Bar and Grill @
4/14 Brookfield, CT - The Room @
4/16 Worcester, MA- The Palladium, NE Metal and Hardcore Fest
@ w/ Wretched, Sons of Aurelius
LAST CHANCE TO REASON teamed up with producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me) to create a modern take on the classic progressive concept album. Drawing influence from the 70's prog of King Crimson and Yes, composers Steve Reich and Schoenberg as well as prog-metal masters Opeth, Dream Theater and Cynic, LCTR's "Level 2" takes the band in awe-inspiring new directions.
Set in a Tron-like virtual world, the album's concept revolves around the relationship between man and technology, our move from physical reality to virtual spaces and what these changes mean to our lives and our art. The lyrics are expressed from the point of view of an artificial intelligence facing the violent reality of a videogame world.
